This has now become a regular annual update, but I really didn’t think after the crazy year of 2020 (blogged about here<\/a>), that we’d be in a very similar situation at the end of 2021.<\/p>\n

I’ve spent the whole of 2021 working from home, working for the same customer, which might become more permanent in 2022, but that’s for another blog.\u00a0 Before starting to write this blog, my impression is that not much had changed, but let’s see…<\/p>\n

As with my 2021 update, I start 2022 with most things up to date.\u00a0 There was a TrueNAS Core update in December which I still haven’t applied yet, as once again it’s broken some of the reporting functionality on the dashboard.\u00a0 Nothing major, but frustrating nonetheless, especially as this has been an ongoing issue with quality control for much of 2021.\u00a0 I’m still running 12.0-U6.1, so not too far behind.<\/p>\n

There hasn’t been a major update to TrueNAS during 2021, so no need to upgrade the version of FreeBSD running in any of the jails, although I’ve tried to keep them reasonably up to date.<\/p>\n

I’ve had no hardware issues with my main FreeNAS machine, and only replaced one of the case fans on my backup machine which was causing the others to run too quickly and noisily!<\/p>\n

Given the increasing cost of electricity, I’ve switched to running my backup server once a week (rather than 24×7) and only backup at the weekend, which I’m sure is saving me some money, although you wouldn’t tell from my ever-increasing utility bill!\u00a0 The UPS replaced in 2020 has continued to work perfectly, and helps with keeping an eye on the energy used.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of 2021, I had one VM running Docker that had several services running as containers within that.\u00a0 I’ve split some of those out, so have a few more VMs running fewer things, but with pretty much the same services:<\/span><\/p>\n
